Ngunnawal Community Day
We hope our school community enjoyed the Ngunnawal Community Day over the weekend. Thank you to our P and C who have done a fabulous job fundraising for our school and providing services to our community such as super cheap uniforms. Thank you also to Nat Munoz and Belinda Robertson for coordinating our band students on the day.
We have one last opportunity to see our bands perform in 2022:

- Year 6 on Tuesday 6 Dec at 12pm
Both performances are on the school hall, families are welcome.

Home Reading and Library Borrowing
From Monday 5 December all borrowing of books from classrooms and the library will finish. Please send all books back so we can review our stock levels. We encourage all students to keep reading over the summer.
Here are some ideas to keep reading fresh:
- Find a book at home that you haven't read in a while and read it again.
- Borrow a book from a friend or neighbour. Start your own book swap!
- Read an e-book.
- Visit the Gungahlin Library. Parents can assist with joining online. Did you know Gungahlin Library has a large digital collection of books, magazines, movies and music?
- Investigate new release books and create a wish list or recommendations for the school library.
- Have a family dinner book club once a week.
- Try a reading place challenge this summer. Can you read in 50 different places?
- Try Summer Reading Bingo (see below) It is ok to do some of these with a helper if needed.
Our Year 1, Year 2, Year 4 and Year 5 Learning Journeys are on tomorrow!
